I’m trying to remember if there was an outbreak in a vaccine-mandated zone with Delta. We know that vaccinated people could both contract and spread Delta, and that it can transmit within a “fully-immunized household” (Bloomberg, October ’21).
Searching “college campuses Delta outbreak” doesn’t get me any stories like Cornell’s, at least not on the first page of Google; there are stories of Delta spreading through a relatively isolated facility (nursing homes, prisons, etc.) with caveats that not everyone in that facility is vaccinated.
The lack of news articles describing “Delta outbreak in fully-vaccinated space” may also reflect the time rollout of the vaccine; maybe there weren’t as many “fully-vaccinated” companies, campuses, cruises, etc. when Delta was around.
The larger point is that if vaccines (for COVID or any future pandemic) worked as sterilizing vaccines, you wouldn’t need vaccine-only zones—right?
